Correct BIOS download for Processor Upgrade

Hello Folks,
I have a t60 core duo T2300 1.66Ghz.. I want to install a T7200 Core 2 duo 2.0ghz. Do i need to update the bios? And which file on this site should i use?
Hellpppp!!

Welcome to the forum!
Your machine will likely recognize the new CPU without any BIOS update. Having said that, whatever the latest BIOS is for your T60 (7-character model number would help) should be applied anyway IMHO.
Good luck.
Cheers,

G500s, Older BIOS Download to facilitate Upgrade to the latest version.

Why doesn't Lenovo make older BIOS versions available for download?
I am trying to upgrade to the latest, but the version I downloaded says it is not for my laptop even though I am on the downloads page for my specific make/model. Scouring the Internet, I have discovered that there are, in fact, several versions between what is currently on my laptop (v1.05) and the most current version availble for download.
All of the prior versions I have discovered are downloadable, but from other, untrusted, sources. I would appreciate being able to download them directly from Lenovo in an effort to "roll up" my BIOS, version by verion if necessary, to the current one.
There is a feature that was introduced in v2.02 (locking the Fn key, current is v2.03) that, as a developer and prolific user of debugging tools, would be incredibly helpful for me (I use F10/F11 WAY more often than brightness controls). It is somewhat ridiculous it was never in prior versions. (I have a 10-year-old keyboard at my desk that can lock the Fn key, but I'm not always at my desk).
Please do not respond with posts that I don't need this version. You will not receive any "Correct Answers" this way.
Thank you!

Where is download for individual upgrade Mail 4.5

Downloading Os 10.6.8 gives a message that Mail 4.4 is now incompatible. Where can I download individual upgrade for Mail 4.5 (or the latest compatible with 10.6.8)??
The combo is 1.1GB is too large for my VERY slow broadband to download (12 hrs) and my boradband gets lost in process.
Surely, there is an individual download available .......

Apple doesn't provide the new AirPort Utility as a download since it's provided on the installation CD that comes with the new 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station. Have you tried contacting Apple for a replacement CD?
As an option, here's a workaround...
- Download the AirPort Base Station Update 2007-001 file from: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airportbasestationupdate2007001formac.htm l
- Double-click AirPortBaseStationUpdate2007001.dmg to mount and display it's contents.
- From the AirPortUtilityUpdate window, right-click on "AirPortBaseStationUpdate2007001.mpkg."
- Select "Show Package Contents" from the pop-up menu.
- In the "AirPortBaseStationUpdate2007001.mpkg window, double-click on the "Contents" folder to open it.
- In the "Contents" window, double-click on the "Packages" folder to open it.
- Right-click on "AirPortUtility.pkg."
- Select "Show Package Contents" from the pop-up menu.
- In the "AirPortUtility.pkg window, double-click on the "Contents" folder to open it.
- Double-click on "Archive.pax.gz." This will create a new folder on your Desktop, named "Applications." The AirPort Utility will be inside this new folder. You can copy or move it to your Applications folder.

BIOS support for CPU upgrade

Hello...we have a ca. 5 year-old dv6-1253cl notebook that I've upgraded to 8GB memory, new SDD, new USB 3.0 card...what I'd like to do next is replace stock Intel P7550 processor with either the Intel T9xxx or an Intel P9xxx series. From the service manual, the system board/chipset will support up to the T9900 @ TDP = 35W, and up to the P8800 @ TDP = 25W. My question is: can I go beyond the P8xxx to P9xxx (e.g., P9700) even though that series isn't specifically called out in manual? Others have successfully swapped out P7xxx for T9xxx CPUs on this particular model, but I'm inclined to maintain close to the stock TDP specs, and keep to P-series. Is this possible? Thanks in advance for any advice given.

I think I have the same family line as yours and I did upgrade it to a T9900 and it works great. I think I got like 4gig in it right now and formatted it to Windows 7x64 Ultra Sp1.

Restricted or UnRestricted file to download for an upgrade?

Everytime I go to do an update/upgrade I forget which version I'm supposed to use. Is it Restricted or UnRestricted. I'm hoping someone out there knows how to tell the difference between these 2. I read somewhere that one of the versions has some red writing on it when you first login and the other version doesn't. I cant remember which does and which doesn't.
Thanks, Mark

Processor Upgrade Feasibility

My nephew has a G4 "sawtooth" 500MHz computer that I am thinking about upgrading with a new processor so he can play the newest games and run Leopard.
Q - which is the best brand? Any experience with any of them? I was looking at Newer Technology MaxPower 2.0GHz.
Q - How is actual compatibility rated by an actual user of an upgraded CPU?
Thanks. Barbara

Hi-
I use a Powerlogix 2.0ghz processor. I have no compatibility issues with any software, or connected hardware. My machines performance increased dramatically, and xBench scores went from system totals of 14-19 to 63-67. Processor scores went from the teens to 100+.
The Newertech 2.0 is a later 7448 processor, (mine is 7447) and will use slightly less power, and run slightly cooler. The Newertech also has a 1mb L2 cache, which is twice the size of the 7447 processors cache. This will really help with graphics, games, etc.
The Newertech, Powerlogix, OWC, Fastmac and GigaDesigns upgrades are all very similar (by processor class ie. 7455, 7447, 7448) and any should serve you well. The Newertech are the only ones using the 7448 processor, which makes the Newertech the latest technology, and probably the fastest.
The CPU, alone, though, will not allow the latest games to be played on the Sawtooth. You will also need a graphics card upgrade. The best (and only) is the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Mac:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/ATI%20Technologies/100435068/
The combination will allow good playability of games like Halo, Doom III, UnrealTournament '04, Stubbs the Zombie, to mention a few.
The Newertech, as well as other processor upgrade brands, are also compatible with Leopard. This is great news for processor upgraded G4's, and further validates the "value" of an upgraded machine. G4's have life way beyond that of any other computer line.

945P Platinum No Manual Bios Download

Anyone help why MSI took off Manual Bios Downloads for 945P Platinum Version Boards
I like to Manual Update Board Bios to latest Bios before Loading OS and view current Version releases (without LiveUpdate)
Also anyone experienced Microphone Problems plugging into Mic Plug (Onboard Realtek 882) all version Sound Drivers
Low Voice pick up (Skype or Sound Recorder) have to use USB Mic
Have tested on 10 Different Boards and differnet plug in mics all the same

Not unusual that bios is removed / greyouted, when there are just the original 1.0 bios and no update versions.
Have you been able to download newer/later biosversions then the orginial bios before ?
No clue about the mic-port issue.
Sometimes separate pci soundcards gives better functionality.

SCSI card for a G5 or processor upgrade for a G4?

Hi all
Actually, this is a question that concerns the G5 and the G4 forum, but I decided to post it here first.
So, I have this old G4/400 PCI with an Adaptec 2930 SCSI card that I use for scanning slides with an Artix 4000t sclide scanner; this works fine, but the G4 is rather slow when it comes to using some features of the scanning software, such as removing scratches.
I've been thinking about buying a SCSI card for my G5 (Dual 1.8) for some time now, but I'm not sure what card I should go for; I'm not even sure if there are still cards for such an "old" device as the slide scanner (about 3 to 4 years old, no Ultrawide or something like that). And then there's the problem of the drivers for the card - how long will they be available, especially now that Apple is switching to Intel...?
The other possibility would be to buy a processor upgrade for the G4. I've seen some at OWC, and they seem to be less expensive than a SCSI card. The drawback of this solution is of course that I'll have to keep the G4 standing on my desk... on the other hand, I do know that the scanner will work perfectly with the G4.
The G5, on the other hand... it will be faster and easier, since I won't have to transfer the files for storage and editing, I could free some space on my desk,... but will it work? The G5 is running 10.4, I'm not sure if my current scanner driver is compatible... and what when 10.5 comes out...?
So I'm looking for a second, third, fourth... opinion:
What would you do? Get a SCSI card for the G5 or a processor upgrade for the G4? What SCSI card would you recommend?
TIA,
Tina

I've done some research on G5 and SCSI and scanners, and obviously, what I remembered was correct... making it work seems at least tricky, and maybe expensive too (if you've got to buy new scanning software and and..).
So I guess that's decided: No SCSI on the G5. Leaves the question, should I buy a processor upgrade card for the G4? Getting some dual G4 on eBay might be an option, but then, that would be another computer in my already crammed office, and I just can't throw the G4 away, it's one of the very first models...
I came by the idea of a processor upgrade because I just played around with an old Mac SE, which has an 68030 accelerator card installed, and this seems to work fine. Anyone has any experience with G3 /G4 upgrades (good or bad)?
Smokerz: Why would you not recommend an upgrade? Any bad experiences?
Tina

I tried to download the latest upgrade and got the following: "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193). Program Files/Common Files/Apple/Apple Application Support\ApplePushService.dll

I tried to download the latest upgrade and I got a message telling me "The application or DLL ProgramFiles/CommonFiles/Apple/Applie Application Support\ApplePushService.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette." and then below that another message "iTunes was no installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193). I tried reinstalling and it still will not work.

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7,now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP,head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)
Re: I recently updated to vista service pack 2 and I updated to itunes 10.2.1 and ever

Correct BIOS for MS-6702?

I just wanted to make sure I downloaded the correct BIOS before I screw up my computer.
I have a MSI K8T Neo mainboard. I downloaded the latest BIOS from the following page:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=496&kind=1
It says "1.x~2.x BIOS cannot be used on K8T Neo-F (PCB2.0)" but I have NO IDEA if I have an -F mainboard or not. How can I seperate an MSI K8T Neo-F from a MSI K8T Neo mainboard??
Thanks,
Scipio

Thanks for the advice.
Well .... in my signature is my "old" MSI K8T Neo mainboard. It broke down about three months ago (already the second time I had to replace my MSI K8T ....). I don't know what BIOS my new mainboard has but it seems to be somewhat old. PC Alert does not show any temperatures for example so I came to the conculsion it might be a good idea to flash my BIOS.
